As I have posted before; there is no financial support for the Project therefore other things take precedence. No one buys the books or the magazines so without that meagre income anything comes out of my pocket and my pockets are empty. E. M. P. T. Y.
The fact that certain "profile" Ufologists have decided that a debunking attitude is the way to go does not encourage me much. Despite them visiting this blog (yes, I know they do) they publicly still mock or dismiss CE3K/AE cases and still pull the "No idea what all this little guys stuff is all about" line.
It is notable that rather than use everything they have to look into specific cases (I am fed up of pushing the Eupora, Mississippi case at these people) and seeing what they can dig up and what might be credible cases they spend 95% of their time looking into, trashing and blogging and making videos about Chinese spy balloon UAP (one and I think it very unlikely even that was a spy balloon but the US government push the narrative and an eager media push out more crap.
Oh, and Lu Elizondo and Mellon -who were never credible to start with and everything since then has proven no credibility and typical huckster behaviour -I do not believe US Counter Intelligence is even pulling the strings. It has all been an outright con and money spinner from day 1. However, just last week there were 10 more blogs and more than that videos on You tube on how Elizondo and Mellon are fighters for UAP UFO disclosure while all the evidence says the opposite. Con men. Another batch of videos state that Elizondo and co. are running a con. No really unidentified craft footage has been released so why, after all these years are people still cheering on con men? Why are people still screaming out that they are con-men? Ignore them and look at actual UFO cases where you can talk to witnesses and carry out a real investigation.
And that perennial favourite con of the gullible -Skinwalker Ranch. We know that, like the equally mythical Marley Woods, not one shred of evidence has appeared or been made public in 20+ years. Just fantasy stories for the weak minded. That the same people involved with Elizondo and other cons are involved or were involved should speak volumes.
Credible -or seemingly credible- researchers have lost any credibility by constantly harking back to the ranch and what a big con it is and how much money is being made from it.
All of the attempts to spread lies and control the narrative have worked. "Skinwalker" is now added into everything and even alleged Bigfoot sightings are highlighted as "a possible skinwalker encounter" -even classic alleged Bigfoot vocalisation cases. People are hooked mon fantasy fiction with George Knapp like others having to admit that "There is no solid evidence" for any of this. But with the support of money making organisations such as MUFON both Skinwalker and Marley are still talked about and believed to have been "scientifically proven".
Elizondo and Mellon come on the scene and straight away "We call them UAP not UFOs" and every Ufologist drops their pants and all their videos and posts are now "UAP" not "UFO". Every dumb-đ followed the moron over the cliff because they were told to. People who never showed any interest in UFOs suddenly ($$$$) "developed an avid interest in UAP" (but never UFOs). Some even then start toting ecommerce and other recognised scams -which has what to do with "UAP"? "UAP photo"/ "UAP video" and rather like the hucksters and morons who rebooted every close encounter case to involve "Greys" everything is now UAP from city light reflecting on cloud cover, aircraft lights, flares, parachutist displays involving attached flares -everything is UAP including a sea buoy!
Sceptical researchers have found it easier to now become debunkers and take that stance while promoting new research bodies or archives. Why? If they are debunking and not even willing to do the research what is the point -so they can claim to have so many collected files? Wasn't that what happened on Face Book when the great pastime was seeing how many 'friends' you could collect (sadly the way LinkedIn has gone)? No credibility.
These people have the files to hand -again I know because I checked- with original letters, statements and so on. Why and How am I expected in one brief contact with these people supposed to impart 50 years of research and investigation into CE3K and AE cases where I have provided so many findings and made research breakthroughs? My first book, UFO Contact? is a place they can start at and build from but I can tell you now that I am no longer sending out free copies of a huge book that 'researchers' say they have received and then...nothing (oh, one copy turned up on Ebay so that shows how sincere a 'researcher' someone was).
The con men are celebrated at UFO events and paid big fees to appear despite everyone knowing that they lied to, covered up UFO cases and deceived Ufology. Work that one out. Well, the fact that the event organisers know the weak minded will pay to see these people is the obvious reason.
Ufology has achieved nothing -nothing- since 1947. The "glamour boys and girls" keep popping up to tell their lies and how they have uncovered yet another UFO crash which, luckily, is so far back there will be no credible witnesses. That will get a documentary or series not to mention the book deal and, of course, the high paying UFO convention gigs and TV appearances.
Those who pushed for organising Ufology in the 1950s were kicked out, had their reputations sullied and worse -by Ufologists. In the 1960s the same applied. I saw first hand how this was all repeated in the 1970s then the 1980s and 1990s and when the internet became common that was used by anonymous people to tell more lies and promote their particular ego trips or chances at celebrity.
In the 1970s I was identified as a Commander in the Royal Navy (Intelligence) and then there was proof that I was actually a Flight Lieutenant in the RAF (intelligence) and in the 1980s I was apparently flown down to the Falklands by RAF Hercules aircraft (another Ufologist actually adopted that story for themselves) to look into UFO sightings. That particular little lie was spread by Eric Morris and he even admitted it to others. Oh, of course, I was also a Lieutenant in the British Army. How offended was I? Very. Why couldn't I have been a Captain at the very least rather than ranks that carried no weight?
Of course, some involved in the fictitious Berwyn Mts (Wales) UFO crash, despite being sent my full Cv and with my history in Ufology going back to the 1970s being documented in UFO publications as well as write ups on talks I gave I was still called "a person claiming to be a Ufologist living in South Wales who I suspect is an intelligence agent or patsy". Every single thing provably a fantasy in this person's head (incidentally, he was so angry because he demanded -demanded- that I turn over all documents/files and materials I had on the Berwyn Mts UFO. A rather not good Welsh UFO group continued to post these fantasies despite having the same Cv submitted to them. The truth is not as "sexy" as a pack of lies.
I have seen confidential information on witness reports left lying on convention tables with no one supervising who saw what. I have heard and spoken to people who had two UFO investigators turn up at a primary school in the 1970s demanding to have access to talk to three children who saw a UFO. They were barred from the school and the "police had words with them" -in 2023 you would be arrested and questioned for trying to push past teachers to talk to kids without a legal guardian present. The same investigators turned up at a distraught teenagers home after she had had a close encounter with 20+ members of their UFO group. There appears to have been further harassment but the girl had a mental breakdown and the other two percipients were protected by their family and have not spoken out to this day.
I have seen people attempt to get organisations instigate basic computer data analysis programs only to be told (over 15 years) "Oh, we'll look into that when it can be afforded" -where was all of the membership money going?
I was once listening to three Ufologists talking about a percipient in a case (a 30 year old woman -married) and how she was "probably looking for some action" and even worse. Once then stated, with others chuckling away to the idea: "I hear the investigator is on to a good thing there and I don't blame him if he can get into her pants!" At this point I was all for thumping up all three (my temper was not as smooth as it is today) but I said "Oh, you mean _________?" and got "yeah. That's her" as a reply. I pointed out that that she was a married woman, her husband was a very nice man and wanted to get to the bottom of what happened and had been present at all meetings" it still did not click in their tiny minds what I was saying but one added that apparently the woman and investigator had private meetings at "his place" (know what I mean?). So, I said loudly and clearly so that anyone within ten feet (3m) could near me: "You bunch of ------. I am the only investigator in that case and I have met the woman at her home with her husband present. She has visited where I live and I can assure you that both my grandparents were very capable chaperones. If you care to put anything you said into print I will sue each of you for every ------ penny you have" I waited but there was no response so moved on.
I have heard first hand all the sexist comments from British Ufologists (both the known scumologists as well as the "nice guys") and I have heard the appalling racism as well. the one thing I was told by the late Norman Oliver was that if I raised the subject of Betty and Barney Hill I should expect "a lot of nastiness" in comments. I did raise the subject and,k yes, I heard the disgusting racist remarks not just in the 1970s but also the 1980s and 1990s and if you think that is all gone in the 21st century you are kidding yourself.
I once asked a senior Ministry of Defence man -off the record- whether the Ministry had ever interfered with or attempted to disrupt British Ufology. I remember him bursting out laughing and saying "Oh, as if we would ever need to! Have you seriously looked at what those people are doing?" Well, yes, but I know that, in front of the third person present, he would not lie but maybe side step. He was spot on of course, and even where it was known that certain Ufologists were being used rather like William Moore was but for other reasons to spy on ufologists and lie about cases, there were reasons.
Back in the early 1980s, at a height of terrorist alerts and the Cold War, certain UFO groups were going out at night to hide and keep an eye on RAF bases, take photos and even take photos of staff entering and leaving and taking car registration numbers. In a lot of countries that would get you arrested and detained. Why were these people doing this? Because either a 'UFO' had been reported near the base (ie an aircraft) or they had been told there was something UFO related going on.
After a low fly incident over Merseyside the local UFO group became a complete pain in the ass to authorities and at one point even "secretly recorded" their entering a police station and demanding facts and the truth from a desk sergeant -who had them kicked out. How a low fly incident developed into a 'major UFO incident' I still cannot fathom out even having re-read the material the other day.
U.S. air bases were also targeted by Ufologists who got so mixed up with the then Greenham Common anti nuclear protests that some were involved in "incidents". That quite rightly attracts official attention. As did all the attempted spying on RAF Rudloe Manor ("The UKs Area 51" yeah, another one)
Llanerchymedd, Wales, 1978. Back in the 1970s there supposedly a UFO landing and entities were seen and there were two UFO groups at each others throats and I was the person in the middle trying to soothe things out. I checked and found out that there was a military exercise at the time and this would explain what was reported. I then had to smooth things over again as one group thought that I was siding with the other but I reiterated that I was independently forwarding fact. In 2023 the Llanerchymedd case is still being cited as a UFO (ie "extraterrestrial" incident -rather as the 1980s Nottinghamshire ball lightning case is still be touted as a UFO incident despite every fact uncovered).
Ufology does not need to be led astray by any official body. Ufologists have lied and faked reports going back to the late 1970s at the very least and have even been caught admitting this but refusing to say why and which cases which makes any case from 1977 on suspect. UFO groups allow and promote the liars and fakery -Eric Morris openly admitted in the 1990s how much he had been faking from abduction cases, cattle mutilations, fake documents and more yet he was applauded when a guest speaker at UFO events.
Why do I not work with a recognised UFO organisation? Which one has been untainted by fakers, fraud, racism, sexism and even paedophile scandals? It is no good stating "I am a serious researcher/member and what those people get caught doing is nothing to do with me" because IF you are a member of that group then it has everything to do with you if you financially support it or promote your work through it. There are probably individuals, not living in a fantasy world, around the globe carrying out serious research and yet have no way to get the results/findings out through a credible source. I still do my work, unsupported, and my fully referenced research results are in my books where they can be peer reviewed -checked and discussed.
It is the only way that it can be done and maintain credibility. However, it does not pay bills or help finance continuing work. However, the now debunkers as well as con merchants do get funded. You work that one out.
Maybe my next book, and previous ones, should be retitled to include the fake words "UAP Skinwalkers -The Evidence"?
